always when I bootstrap an webapp it takes me hours to struggle around with different frameworks, helpers and lib's until I think this will work out. I would love to hear what you guys are using. I use sinatra (for dynamic) and nanoc (for static) things. Recently started with sass and...

There is another email sent regarding this. It is not may not be a Dwolla-specific matter and may be much more important than people yet realize. The DHS is apparently seizing Mt. Gox's Mutum Sigillum's accounts (presumably Dwolla accounts): As of 12:13 PM on 5/14/2013: Due to recent ...

I've worked in the computer security industry almost since it was created, and I've heard a lot of misconceptions on this subreddit about how to securely use bitcoin. I thought it would be helpful to provide a few common sense steps anybody can use to safely secure their bitcoins. You...

Well, the thing you have to understand about ESEA is that with 1.6, for about 5-6 years they were the only way to play. If you wanted to compete, you had to use ESEA, otherwise you were playing competitively against hackers or people that weren't nearly as good which meant it wasn't a...

Their strategy maybe "if you can't beat them, join them." Pretty smart if you ask me! Is it a bad thing? Certainly not: any acceptance by major company like that is going to send Bitcoin into the stratosphere! What they're saying is that they don't see Bitcoin as competition, rather i...

JA: And that is primarily I believe as a result of technology that enables fiscalization . So fast bank transfers. The IRS being able to account for lots of people, it sucks people into a very rigid fiscalized structure. So you can have a lot of political change in the United States. ...

Hi, we are Mt. Gox. Ask us anything. Dear Bitcoiners, Mt Gox customers, and Redditors. The past few days and weeks have been a rollercoaster ride to say the least, and while we are still under constant DDos attack (more so than usual) we wanted to take the time to do an AMA on Reddit ...

They never mentioned bitcoin once. They described the need for bitcoin without mentioning bitcoin. Thanks to weed I typed out the entire end of the show for everybody to read if they want to read it: The narrator is not quoted. I didn't the names of all the people who talked because I...

1) The order process is much easier because the buyer KNOWS that you can't do a chargeback. All of the silly logging in, entering the three digits on the back of your card, entering the phone number of your card, etc... all go away. You give ONLY the information that is actually neede...

Disclaimer: I'm not associated in any form with Mercado Bitcoin other than having done trades there. Luckily for me I didn't have any money there at the moment. Mercado Bitcoin, the largest – and only – bitcoin exchange in Brazil, has been offline for almost a week now. For the first ...

At this moment in time, you can deposit fiat currency into Bitcoin ATM and receive bitcoins to your account. You can also send bitcoins and receive fiat currencies (although there are some difficulties in the latter due to network-specific requirements).

You're fine. The government will be content to gradually steal your money through inflation. The EU is a special case because the provinces of the EU are all so different and are still semi-independent. Most likely the Euro will collapse and the EU will become nothing more than an int...

I love how the reporters call it "taking a haircut" when the government simply decides one day to take people's money. I'd love to see this turned into a poster for Bitcoin, a big creepy government barber, maybe Uncle Sam as a barber, shears at the ready, creepy smile, standing behind...

Join bitcoin-dev for further updates (please don't pester while people work). Looks like the chain was forked by a bug in 0.7. 0.8 nodes didn't suffer and carried on. A solution is in the works. What do I do??: If your not mining, just sit tight. If you are mining, ask your pool. 0.8 ...

Just got this email from Namecheap after I posted my support for bitcoin: "We are in the process of intergrating BitCoin into Namecheap and we need some BitCoins for performing some tests. If you are interested in sending some BitCoins to us, we will be glad to credit your Namecheap a...

Except you can only get Raspberry Pi's from one place, and they prefer to sell to education and non-profits. You can't clone a Raspberry Pi, and you can't use the SoC for your own board, because it's proprietary(Broadcom). So if you're building a device with it, there's no way to guar...

It is the number of Bitcoins that have to be bought in order for the price of the per Bitcoin to reach a certain price. If you go to MtGox Live , you will see a vertical portion of the blue line at $32.00. The height at that line is roughly $43,000 meaning that $43k has to be spent bu...

It depends on the database driver. The pg driver allows both synchronous and asynchronous calls. The synchronous calls will block all threads until the results return where the asynchronous ones require two method calls, but allow the interpreter to continue processing other things. T...

It's a good suggestion. The free/open source movement is highly aligned to Bitcoin's roots and principles. But we should work on making the Bitcoin offering self-evidently valuable, rather than having to apply pressure. The word pressure makes it slightly adversarial. Vendors should b...

If you mean Nike doesn't pay late, because they are a big corporation, I have the opposite opinion. In my experience, the biggest corporations pay when they feel like it. We spent 2 years contacting coke trying to make them a client. When we finally landed the account, we had one asso...
